high spring photo dump


Spent the weekend working in the yard weeding and pruning and moving some things around and watering and pulling up hay grass. I have filled the wheelbarrow once and it's half full again and you can't even tell! All that seed was moved into the yard from the 12 acre field behind us by the flood, the gift that keeps on giving. Well since the st. augustine grass has died in big patches over the last two years, the yard is more of a meadow anyway.

Bill the plumber showed up yesterday and so I won't see Rocky again until the end of the week while they get the water back on at my neighbor's house as her need is much greater than starting on the little bathroom. And as I'm anticipating a visit from fellow blogger Joanne from Cup On The Bus and granddaughter Laura on Thursday, I started the onerous task of dusting ah, if only it was as simple as swishing a duster around. It's one thing to live with the layer of dirt on everything, another thing entirely to let people see that you live with a layer of dirt on everything. So while I busy myself with spring cleaning, here's more flower porn.

    Do not speak to me of dusting.

  3. Oh how you tantalize! I had that second from the last in my yard at my house. We called it "mock orange", but I have no idea if that's right. But the smell is divine as I remember.

    1. depends on which part. there are 10 ecoregions in Texas. I'm in the central gulf coast plains. https://tpwd.texas.gov/education/hunter-education/online-course/wildlife-conservation/texas-ecoregions

  5. You must dust more often if it means we get all these gorgeous planty pics!

  6. Look at those indian paintbrushes! Wow. You have such beautiful flowers in and around your yard. I'm inclined to say you should just let the dust be, but I know if I had people visiting I'd be dusting too -- I get it.

  7. Flower porn is right! Gorgeous! Mike has been planting right & left (THANK YOU for the daylilies!). Even today he's plotting about peonies...

    Hope you enjoyed your visit - and your dust-free home!
